According to Goal, Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori is now willing to reconsider a January move away from the club.
It’s claimed that Newcastle United now want to take Tomori on loan, but clubs around Europe are also interested.
Tomori notably turned down a move to West Ham United on deadline day in October, and hasn’t played a Premier League game since.
This report states that Tomori didn’t want to make that move as he felt rushed into the decision and wasn’t prepared to risk making a sudden move that may not work out.
It’s worth noting there that the defender West Ham signed instead – Craig Dawson – hasn’t played a single game for the Hammers yet.
Newcastle now want to try their luck, and with more time to weigh up January approaches, Tomori may be more willing to go this time.
The 22-year-old has huge talent, but has played just 45 minutes of league action this season and finds himself as Frank Lampard’s fifth-choice centre back.
That’s simply not good enough for a player like Tomori, whose chances of playing at the European Championships appear to be dwindling – and Newcastle may well fancy their chances after hearing this update.
